TIFU by creating a fake Instagram account, What’s App notified my contacts

As the title says I tried to create a secret Instagram to follow escort and other naughty accounts. I’m a girl and idolise these brave, sexy women... might be a bit bi-sexual as well, anyway... I thought I was being pretty slick, hiding my naughty side from my friends and family that follow me on social media.

The fuck up was What’s App helpfully sending a notification to ALL my contacts that I’d created a new Instagram, I’d registered for the account using my phone number. I’m lucky as I only talk to a few people via What’s App and I’m pretty close with them so they’re not going to make a fuss

I’m still so embarrassed, my only saving grace is a used a normal sounding name instead of “sexy kitty” which I originally wanted to use so hopefully it just looks like I wanted a fresh start.

I’m a pretty private person and to be honest this has put me off What’s App, I recently learned it’s owned by Facebook which I avoid like the plague thanks to watching Edward Snowden’s movie. Maybe that’s common knowledge to all of you, but it was news to me.

TL;DR I created a fake Instagram, What’s App notified my contacts

Any-who, hoped you enjoyed my little story, now back to bed. All of you.

Open Source Watomatic Android app sends automatic WhatsApp replies.

Regular WhatsApp accounts don't come with options to send automatic replies, e.g. to inform users who contact you that you are on Holiday or decided to migrate away from WhatsApp because of the recent privacy controversy surrounding the app and service. WhatsApp accounts will be limited and eventually deleted if users don't agree to the new privacy policy.

Users who don't agree may migrate to another chat service, Telegram, for example, introduced options to import WhatsApp chats recently.
